Welcome to Whitken & Co.! We are a design studio and lifestyle blog based in Anderson, SC. Our goal is to help you create a beautiful functional, and healing home for you and your family to live, work, play in, and share with others.

This is another room that we just got to freshen up with paint, but I wanted to share it with you guys to share some of the ideas I had for the space in case it might be something you can try in your own laundry room or enclosed porch.

Like the office, this room used to be a side porch, but unlike the office it isn't heated or cooled. Before we walled up the door and window in the master bedroom, this is the room you could look out and see, and as you can see it was a lovely view.

The yellow was bright and cheery in this room but just too much for this little space for me personally. I wanted simple and clean. We went with the same white that we used in the living room and hallway. (You can read why I love white here and how to make it feel warm and cozy here)

From the time we moved in I always pictured this room a crisp white. It's the laundry/mudroom, and I wanted it to feel really crisp and clean and fresh. Kind of like clean laundry except hopefully without the crisp part.

If we had stayed in this house for awhile, I planned on planting an herb wall because I love using fresh herbs when I cook and it looks pretty, and adding in shelving for extra storage of larger kitchen and decor items and probably shoes on the bottom shelves. Below are some very rough mockups of what I had in mind.

I hope that helps you guys see a little of what I had in mind for this little workroom and hopefully it might give you some ideas for your own. I think I have just 3 more before and after posts left on the Pickens' House and than it's onto other projects and discussions!
